5€ for a few dots of light? Ok...

I don't understand the logic in complaining about something you don't have to buy...

I complain about things I don't have to buy all the time. If the price of my favorite libations at my local store goes up 20% I gripe and grumble heartily. Don't have to buy it to continue existing but it helps. [smile]
 
More doom OP!

I think its pretty sweet the chieftain gets new clothes of the bat. Cheaper than an Umbongo and pack of Curly Whirlys for sure!

I do complain a lot about Co-op's out of date discounts, £4.99 Lasagna, expires in two days, they put it in the discount section for £4.98.. What is the point?

You know it. Void and doom. Til the end.

The fact the skin is out, isn't a problem per se though. If anything on the contrary. If anything. I am huge sucker for skins. What I aimed to relay with my ramblings there was I found it humorous, after a tragicomical sense, that we already have merch for a ship we don't even have yet (which, naturally, was based around petty semantics to begin with). Could I feel more taken for granted? I guess so [haha]
 
Way I see is that these are basically the real life equivalent to the kind of strip lights you'd hang up around home or in your car so really they notthat interesting, unless they're festive of course.

Coloured LED strips on the other hand, maybe with individual alphabet parts would be quite cool...
 
THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS.

Personally, I wasn't going to buy the new lights. But now I am. And the voice pack.

Oh and shiny new paints for the Chieftan, Corvette, and Cutter.

Just to spite OP.

My disposable income, my choice.

Oh gods damn it... there goes my serenity!!! Exit harmony, enter fury! :O
 
Sorry, just had to rep you for the obscure ST:TNG reference!

Hahaha. I hadn't clicked until you mentioned it! The cardassion prison with Picard!

I'm happy to spend money in the store whenever, really. I've played since Oct 2014 and spent over 700 (gradually) on 2 accounts. I've played for over 3700 hours (and reached top end INARA ranking) so I consider it great value for money!

I've happily spent that and will happily always support Frontier :).

If I don't like something (like the 4 lights), I move on and that's that. I appreciate all the extras though as someone's going to like it. I'll just get what takes my interest. Call me old fashioned....?

Nah I'll call you reasonable. I want it all. All of it. At prices I can agree to. And I don't want to miss a thing. I will never be able to get a Cobra Mk.IV (I don't give a flying rat's beehive if it's any good or not to someone else), and I will be hard pressed to ever forget and forgive that either. What can I say? I am a completionist, after a fashion. Trying to be. In even one bloody thing! [haha]

An obsession to fill the whole paper, I reckon. It gives me a sense of worth for existence.
 
I swore that I would not spend any more money in the store until I saw how Beyond panned out (the whole "season" or whatever it's being called) but then I bought a FAS and I was looking at it in outfitting thinking how very plain it was...and the next thing I knew I was in the store browsing, "just doing a little window shopping, it's okay jason!" I told myself...time kind of blured...the next thing I know, I'm at the checkout feverishly handing over my money in exchange for 3x paint packs...

I have a problem. Help me, brothers.

Snap , accidentally slipped and bought a few bits and bobs. And several chrome and gold paint jobs. “Cough” on 2 Account’s

The pint of complaining to yourself about the price of your fave drink? Not much.

Of complaining here about the price of some silly ship lights on the official forum? To get Frontiers attention as to why you are dissatisfied with their decision. That's how you get noticed, If you are unhappy with mechanics or pricing isn't it? Just not buying it doesn't tell them much, maybe people didn't like the color, maybe people didn't see it, maybe the description was unclear, maybe it destroys users feng shui to hang lights like that. Who knows! But if lots of people say "its too expensive" and then sales are low a lightbulb goes off.

Seriously watching sales decline without any indication as to why is a challenging thing. You have to spend time money to research why and might never come up with a conclusive answer. Lots of people complaining about a specific thing, be it a lack of a feature, price, or just the color, makes life soo much easier. Basically voting with your wallet works a whole lot better if you let the company know why first.
 
With the T10 it was "OmehGz, FDev released a ship and STILL, eleven entire seconds after arrival in game, no painte jobz?"

So now, with the next ship, they make sure the paints are in the store before the ship arrives in game and it's the equal but opposite reaction.

Eh, I guess Newton was right.

Which is totally fair, but ignoring that bit I think it's safe to say this cosmetic in particular took less effort than a BP environmental campaign.
